Some cell apps like <a href="http://pointandfind.nokia.com/" target="_blank">Point
& Find</a> (for Nokia) or <a href="http://www.snaptell.com/" target="_blank">Snap
& Tell</a> (for iPhone) can read any book cover or ISBN barcode and
automatically search for it on Amazon and other stores (even I hear that also,
if you have GPS, give you some address of stores where near you where you can
buy it).<br>
<br>
I wonder if someone tried to add the URL of a Koha OPAC to the list of places
where this apps search for books, or if exist an application to search which
libraries (instead of stores) <a
href="http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2009-November/010390.html"
target="_blank">near my location</a> have the searched material (or at least
search on a given OPAC).<br>
